Question
In recent years, DNA sequences (nucleotide sequence) of mtDNA and Y-chromosomes were considered for the study of human evolution ?
Options
A.they can be study from the samples of fossil remains
B.they are small and, therefore, eassy to study
C.they are uniparental in origin and to not take part in recombination
D.their structure is known in greater detail
Solution
Wilson and Sarich choose mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) for the study of maternal line inheritance. While Y-chromosomes were considered for the study of human evolution particularly male domain. It is possible because they are uniparental in origin and do not take part in recombination.
